Chapter 17 The sense of urgency brought about by time
...dong dong dong...
Just as he put down the Book of Elements, a knock on the door came, making Wu Ming frown.
"Who could it be, Horvath, or someone else?"
Wu Ming and Dave looked at each other, then waved to Dave to open the door, and at the same time prepared the attack magic.
"Be smart. If Horvath comes, remember to get down immediately."
Wu Ming held the ion light ball, gave Dave instructions, and stood behind a load-bearing wall.
"Before I open the door, I will count three, please remember to do it on time!"
Dave took a deep breath, glanced at Wu Ming's position worriedly, and strode towards the iron gate.
Putting his hands on the handle of the iron door, Dave made an OK gesture behind him and whispered: "One, two, three..."
...click...
After counting the three numbers, Dave, who was holding the door handle, suddenly opened the iron door.
The next second, he squatted down without thinking, holding his head and squatting on the ground.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The magical whistling in my imagination did not appear for some reason.
Dave, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, raised his head and looked up in confusion. What caught his eye was a pair of beautiful legs in black stockings, and a pair of big breasts that were so exaggerated that it was hard to distinguish between real and fake.
"This... Peggy, why is it you?" He knew people by smell, and after seeing this big breast, Dave also recognized who it was.
"Why not me, Dave, what are you doing squatting on the ground?"
Peggy wore a white coat, proudly puffed out her chest, and looked at Dave with a superior gaze.
Under Peggy's queen-like gaze, Dave suddenly became eclipsed and explained hesitantly: "My shoelaces are untied and I'm tying them!"
"Yeah?"
After hearing this explanation, Peggy looked inside and said, "Is your uncle here? Every time your uncle comes, you look weird!"
Unsurprisingly, the uncle Peggy talks about is Wu Ming.
Growing up, Dave went to the antique store once a day, which had become a habit. Later, when Dave began to pursue Peggy, the explanation he gave was that the owner of the antique store was himself.
My uncle went to help in the antique shop.
After going back and forth like this, Peggy also found out that Dave also had an uncle with an Asian face.
And because Wu Ming is a magician and has to teach Dave magic every day, his nominally cheap uncle has become very weird.
"Uncle, uncle, are you in there?"
"Haha, I haven't seen you for half a month, little Peggy, you've become a lot more beautiful!"
Following Peggy's call, Wu Ming shook his head and walked out, mouthing a little Peggy, making Peggy pout in anger.
Peggy is nineteen years old. Although she is the same age as Dave, the scale of the place is definitely not small for a big place.
Now, when I heard Wu Ming always calling me "Little Peggy", I couldn't help but put my hands on my hips proudly, tilted my head and said: "Uncle, what are you talking about, who is little!"
"Jie Jie, I have been calling you Little Peggy for ten years. Do you want to change your name to Big Peggy?"
Wu Ming shook his head with a teasing smile, then ignored Peggy's angry look and curled his fingers at Dave.
"Peggy, my uncle is like this. Don't be like him. Just wait for me here for a while and I'll be back as soon as I go."
Dave confessed to Peggy and quickly ran to Wu Ming's side.
Wu Ming looked at Peggy blocking the door, then at Dave beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Do you like Life and Death Love?"
"Life and death love!"
Dave was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't like it, not at all."
"If you don't like her, then send her away. Now, we may encounter Horvath at any time. If you don't want her to die, don't contact her during this period." Wu Ming spoke in a serious tone, not joking at all.
mean.
You know, Horvath is a magician, he is too powerful for ordinary people.
At this time, if Dave was playing with their love and exposed this obvious weakness, Horvath would never let it go.
Therefore, for your own safety or for Peggy not to be the focus of attention, it is best to reduce unnecessary troubles in a short period of time to avoid regrets later.
"Mentor, I understand!" At the critical moment, Dave also knew that this was for Peggy's good.
Nodding and seriously agreeing, Dave reluctantly whispered: "Give me some time, I'll make arrangements, and I'll be back soon."
"Be careful, Morgana's seal is in our hands, Horvath will not give us time."
Wu Ming waved his hand and only emphasized the importance of time without directly rejecting Dave's proposal.
Blocking is worse than spacing. What is love? In fact, we only need to look at ourselves.
Even if Dave is the descendant of Merlin, he may even be the reincarnation of Merlin.
However, when it comes to relationships, it is still difficult for others' advice to work, and Wu Ming knows this very well.
Therefore, he just stopped and watched Dave and Peggy leave without acting as the villain.
Open the door, close the door...
Wu Ming was the only one left in the air-raid shelter.
Wu Ming held the Book of Elements in his hand and flipped through several pages, but it was difficult to get into it because he thought of a new question.
"There's not enough time!" Wu Ming muttered about the time and fell into deep thought for a while.
It has been more than ten years since I came to the world of magician's apprentice.
During this period, he witnessed Dave's growth with his own eyes. Just like little Peggy had become a grown-up, he was also slowly aging.
Magicians have strong mental power, but correspondingly, they also lose their strong physical strength.
Although Wu Ming could feel his own strength as his magic power accumulated, he could also feel that his lifespan had not been extended in any way.
"I came into contact with magic when I was twenty-five years old. In ten years, I have grown to the level of a half-step magician. At this rate, within three months, I will be fully promoted to a great magician. And after ten years, I can expect to become a legend.
At that time, I was forty-five years old!"
Wu Ming calculated carefully, but the more he calculated, the more he realized that there was not enough time.
Twenty years later, for a legendary mage, this speed is still too slow.
The path of magic is different from others. Before being promoted to a demigod, your lifespan will not increase unless you use some special means.
If you become a legendary mage at the age of forty-five, then the time to be promoted to demigod will be after the age of sixty at least.
Think about it, only after the age of sixty can you be promoted to a demigod and transform your body into an elemental body.
At that time, Wu Ming was already old. It must be said that this was the limitation of the path of magic.
"It seems that this mission is over. I want to find some worlds to increase my life span." Wu Ming fell into thinking and planned the future path.
...ta tap tap tap...
A rush of footsteps resounded outside the iron gate while Wu Ming was thinking.
The next second, Wu Ming raised his head and looked towards the iron door, and what he saw was Dave pushing the door open and entering.
